Emerson Grace: The High-Fidelity "Elevated Casual" Anchor for Nashville’s Premier Fashion Districts. Founded in 2013 by fashion executive Kimberly Lewis (formerly of Ralph Lauren and BCBGMAXAZRIA), Emerson Grace (emersongracenashville.com) is a world-class contemporary boutique defined by its "Effortless Chic" philosophy. Serving as a critical Lifestyle & Community Anchor, the brand bridges the gap between global designer labels and emerging regional talent. The boutique is renowned for its proprietary "The Local Focus" initiative, which spotlights Nashville-based creatives alongside powerhouses like Citizens of Humanity, Mother Denim, and Tanya Taylor. Entering 2026, the brand remains the "Trophy Boutique Tenant" of the 12 South corridor, driving high-net-worth (HNW) traffic through its personalized styling salons and high-frequency seasonal events, such as the "EG x Brittany Fuson" 2026 collection launch. For developers, Emerson Grace represents a "Cultural Pulse Anchor" that validates luxury high-streets by blending high-fidelity merchandising with an authentic, community-driven retail narrative.
